imx serial chars lost issue

Hello all,
recently I have been experiencing an issue with the imx uart on i.MX6ULL
SoC, on the tty console (no flow control, 1152008n1), chars after the 32nd
are lost when typing "fast" (copy/paste or writing to the uart using
automated tools).

This was tested on Linux 6.0, however it does not look like a brand new
regression, kernel 5.4 was somehow subject to the same issue, although
it was way more difficult to trigger it.

While I do understand that without flow control this is something that
cannot be prevented, it is pretty fishy that is always the chars after
the 32nd.

I guess that might be happening is that the FIFO is emptied only by a
timer or when it is full, instead of emptying it when half-full, and the
CPU might not be fast enough leading to an overflow and the chars lost.

Any idea?

Francesco
